= dulged in BY Society Bellies.
High society has absolutely stopped
kissing itself on its mouth, according to
a New York correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican. 1t osculates upon
the cheeks exclusively. Whenever two
misses OF DANES met one put out her
lips and laid her right hand on her
friends left shoulder. The friend in
stantiy turned her face away, arched
her neck and threw up her left cheek to
be kissed chastely formally and without
an explosion. Then the ks Sc repeated
the performance on the kisser.
The bellies tried this on their uncles
and cousins, but, alas. men are
always brutes and bunglers. When the
bellies held their neeks awry and one
cheek in air for the sacrifice, the men
were observed to begin on the cheek and
slide their mustaches around to the
mouths of the fair ones, there to linger
and smack. Ugh! the horrid men!

THE STAGE BELLIES
continue to give us early instruction in
dress. Some of the dresses worn by
actresses of late have been particularly
admired. The costumes displayed by
Helen Dauvray in THE Love Chase"
could scarcely be more elegant or cor
rect; but, in order to set off an ''Old
English" costume to the best advant-
age, the wearer should be tall
and slender, like an Ellen Terry, who
never looks more graceful than in
costume of the time of Charles.

to put before you anything very new. I am
happy to say that the company has prospered
throughout the year. We have had a great
or share of prosperity than we have had for
several years back, and | am glad to come
before the shareholders with q thoroughly
good report and balance sheet. It is true
that there has been rather q decrease in FIRE
premiums, but it does not amount to very
much. At the same time, there has been q
very large decrease in the losses, which does
G great deal more than counterbalance the
loss OF the fire premiums. The decrease ia
about 9l0,O0O as compared with last year
The general result of the operations, 100000
ID q larger profit in the FIRE department
than we have shown for some years. This,
L think, gentlemen, you will consider very
satisfactory, ! nasmuch as in the year that is
past we have suffered from a variety of
losses, and in a variety of places. The only
unsatisfactory feature in the years business
Is the increase in expenditure, and this in
crease has now been going on for some time.
1t has not been allowed to grow without
receiving the constant and careful attention
OF your directors, | may say, day by day, and
OF your excellent manager, who is ALWAYS
alive to endeavouring to keep the expendi-
ture OF the company down as low as it ia
possible to keep it. There'are certain rules
and regulations beyond which you cannot
get in the reduction of your expenses. We
come now to the question of competition.
and that is one which I might elaborate to q
considerable extent, but I shall endeavour
to conhne 1t IN a very short compass. The
TACT ID that competition in the business gets
every year more fierce, officers find it increas-
lngly difficult to secure a good paying bust.
ness, and to obtain it they offer higher and
higher commission. Certainly as that bust.
ness to a great extent VIII be attracted by
commission we have to follow the course of
keeping up all the connections we have. and
30 the struggle goes on. This competition, gen.
tlemen, L may say, as / have already obser-
we'd, IS fiercer and fercer every year. We
have competition on all sides, we have com.
petition you will find, from new Offices
which desire, and are very anxious to
get hold OF, such business as they possibly
can, and they endeavour to take it from US,
ana to rob us OF it by giving increased COM
MISSION This, gentlemen, we have to strug-
gle against, and you may be certain that we
snail not struggle in vain. But it cannot be
wondered that there is O. constant struggle.
Few businesses in late years have given such
a steady profit as a well-managed insurance
company. Therefore we must look for keen
competition SO long as we have such a mar
gin OF profit as we are able to show this year,
and somehow year by year we manage to
make a far show, and your directors and
shareholders will doubtless congratulate
themselves. Mr.. Beausire.-I beg to propose
q vote OF thanks to the chairman for presid-
ing %(applause.)

for your vote. This meeting has been very
harmonious, and I hope our meetings will
